The resultant 36mm actual width on the Clement Crusade PDX tire-and-American Classic Hurricane wheel combination may not fly for UCI-sanctioned races but that won't be a concern for most of the people buying this bike

Raleigh has moved the exit port on carbon 'cross frames' internally routed rear derailleur cable to the top of the chain stay for a cleaner line

The Clement Crusade PDX clinchers are labeled as 33mm-wide but when mounted to the stock wide-profile American Classic wheels on the updated Raleigh RXC Pro Disc and RXC Disc, they measure closer to 36mm across

The chain stays and seat stays are both flattened to help smooth out the ride on the new Raleigh aluminum CX frames

The curved top tube provides a little more room to reach your arm through for run-ups while the flattened surface should be a little less painful on your shoulder

Raleigh's new RX 2.0 aluminum 'cross bike may only be US$1,750 but it's a reasonable weight at 10.12kg (22.3lb, 56cm) and looks far more expensive than it is

The revamped RX 1.0 is now Raleigh's top rim brake-equipped 'cross bike for 2014. Claimed weight is 9.75kg (21.5lb, 55cm) and like other bikes in the range, the graphics scheme looks much richer than the US$1,550 price tag would normally suggest

The women's-specific Raleigh RX 1.0 features a dedicated geometry with a shorter reach and more standover clearance than the standard version. Retail price is US$1,550 and claimed weight is 9.66kg (21.3lb) for a 52cm size

For the coming cyclocross season, Raleigh USA made subtle refinements to its carbon bikes but completed a wholesale redesign of its alloy range. Not only are the frames supposedly lighter and more efficient but also more comfortable – and new wheel specs across the board will greatly increase traction, too.

Alloy frames have been thoroughly modernized for the coming season with a new hydroformed and double-butted 6061 aluminum tubeset. The down tube has a more pronounced ovalized shape, the seat tube gains a tapered profile with a softer-riding 27.2mm seatpost, chain stays and seat stays are flattened for comfort, and Raleigh has ditched last year's straight 1 1/8-inch head tube for a 1 1/8-to-1 ½-inch tapered one.

The top-end RXC Pro Disc gets an ENVE fork — and killer graphics

Accompanying the newly tapered front end are lighter-weight carbon forks, too, while the geometry has been adjusted to better suit US-style courses with lower bottom brackets to provide a more stable feel through corners.

Changes to the RXC carbon frames aren't quite as dramatic. The internal and convertible rear derailleur routing now exits on top of the chain stay instead of underneath it for a cleaner run while the new RXC Disc model gets an all-new monocoque carbon fiber fork with post mount tabs.

All of the bikes get significant improvements in spec, however, particularly in terms of wheelsets. Raleigh now equips the top-end RXC Pro Disc and RXC Disc with wide-profile, tubeless-compatible, aluminum clinchers from American Classic, while other bikes get house-brand rims with far more generous 18mm internal widths – a massive improvement over the strangely narrow 12.4mm-wide ones we noted in our review of last year's RXC Pro Disc.

The wider footprints that result may not always make the UCI happy – Raleigh's Brian Fornes says the stock Clement tires on the RXC models end up close to 36mm wide – but just about everyone else should appreciate the increased grip, reduced chance of pinch flats, and lower operating pressures.

James started as a roadie in 1990 with his high school team but switched to dirt in 1994 and has enjoyed both ever since. Anything that comes through his hands is bound to be taken apart, and those hands still sometimes smell like fork oil even though he retired from shop life in 2007. He prefers manual over automatic, fizzy over still, and the right way over the easy way.

Discipline: Mountain, road, cyclocross

Preferred Terrain: Up in the Colorado high-country where the singletrack is still single, the dirt is still brown, and the aspens are in full bloom. Also, those perfect stretches of pavement where the road snakes across the mountainside like an artist's paintbrush.
